India offers cheap electricity to Pak

Islamabad: At a time when Pakistan is facing
acute shortage of electricity, India has offered to sell power
at cheap rates to its energy-starved neighbour, Commerce
Secretary Zafar Mehmood said on Wednesday.

India`s offer will be discussed at the meeting of the
Commerce Secretaries of India and Pakistan to be held in
Islamabad during April 27-28, Mehmood told the media.

However, he did not give details, including when New
Delhi had made the offer.

The meeting between the Commerce Secretaries is part
of the resumed dialogue process between the two countries.

India has been pushing for greater trade and economic
ties with Pakistan.
